Arkansas making strides in recruiting with 2015 class
Second-year Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema is busy trying to wrangle in his second recruiting class on the heels of a 6-6 mark.
The Razorbacks learned its bowl destination on Sunday — the Texas Bowl against Texas — and Bielema stressed the importance of the Hogs’ bowl game on recruiting in the state of Texas.
